That's what we are saying,from humble beginnings to great heights...hard work pays!
Congrats!

I just hope these Yoruba guys have not been briefed to change their names to Igbos when they are caught.
Just thinking outside the box!

'The committee as it stands, bar the Principal Secretary to the President who will stand in for the President himself, consists entirely of officials whose current positions align with the agenda of the National Census. It will be abominable to form any such committee without them'.
These are the issues,how was it even possible that the 'officials whose positions align with the agenda of the National Census,are all almost Yoruba's,is this not a good example of the reckless nepotism and tribalism going on in this government.
I rest my case.

Fine and good but can we know how this money has been distributed so far?the geographical spread?how many students from each universities and other higher institutions?
The ethnicity of they recipients?
'E get why',I want to clear my doubts!

Educate yourself bro.
Not everyone bearing Yoruba name is a pure Yoruba from Nigeria.

Oje tribe in Seria Leone bear Yoruba names
Aku tribe in Gambia bear Yoruba name
They bear Yoruba names in Cotonou, Togo even in Brazil and the Caribbean.

Get the fact right. He could be a Caribbean America, Gambian American, Seria Leonian American etc.

I just say make I school you.

Story for the gods.You guys are very good at living in denial.If he was outstanding in America,you would be the first shouting Omulabi and hailing him to high havens,now you want to educate your father.
The same formula Yoruba president use in Nigeria,when he wants to give appointments to North central,it is quickly giving to Yorubas from kwara and kogi,in the guise of giving appointments to Northerners.But if i ask you to name one notable Yoruba man you know,you will name Pastor David Oyedepo of winners,Rashidi Yekini, Kunle Afolayan,Lagbaja,Wasiu Ayinde Marshal etc while they are all from Kwara state.
It is now difficult to manipulate facts,no longer the days of Lagos Ibadan Express way Ngb*ti brown envelope media houses propaganda.The social media is a myth buster!

This Yoruba guy,has ended up putting the rest of Africans in trouble in America,at a time when Trump has threatened to deport naturalized Americans with issues as little as traffic offence.
These Yoruba boys with their bad characters and bitterness that runs in their blood,wherever they go,they must show that irritating part of them.

Most people didn't get to see the report from Sahara reporters,if not for the awareness created by the police press release, however if Nigeria police debunks any news,it then means that the news is......your guess is as good as mine.
May her soul RIP!

I never knew Yorubas detest drug pushers when they lined up behind a drug lord in the last flawed elections,talk about slippery and treachery,here they come.
Ogbonnaya will be better off if extradited to korea to do time for his crime...that's a more saner clime,Nigerian prison is death before arrival.
Crime does not pay,even if is just 'forfeiture' and you didn't go to prison,you remain a criminal.If you know you know!

Bloggers I hail thee!

Though I am saddened by the fact that poverty levels all over Nigeria is on the rising and it's on record high,south east is benefiting from cultural re-orientation they had shortly after they experience of the civil war,they people are more ambitious,determined,show tenacity of purpose,puts in manifold efforts in things they engage in,knowing that the government hardly cares about them.
This led them into massive commerce,entertainment,sports,educational revolution,exploration of the outer world and this is paying off.While some others whom are used to freebies from government may be gnashing their teeths,the igbos galvanise themselves,using apprenticeships system to help poor families in the region.
This is same reason the southeast remains the most developed rural area in sub saharan Africa.
Some times in life,it seems like your antagonists are your helpers!!!

It is an indication that the people of south East no longer have faith in this contraption called Nigeria.
Inspite of enduring years of marginalization, APC came with an obvious unwritten agreement to make sure they completely isolate the south east in its developmental programs,from railways,to apointments,educational funds,health sector,to other major projects and even trying as much as possible to see if they can use government might to rundown sectors assumed favourable to the people of south east.
It is not Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB that will divide Nigeria but rather the actions or inactions of the criminal APC establishment.
South east youths rejecting the military,is a way of showing there disapproval of obvious marginalization these leaders.During OBJ,Yaradua and GEJ,the enthusiasm was high because every section of the country was given sense of belonging.

Imagine a health minister celebrating his ministries inefficiencies,your principal and colleagues are the greatest enemies of this nation,out of the over 2billion dollars spent yearly on medical tourism,the president,governors,top parliamentarians and there likes,are responsible for over 90% of the 2billion dollars.It is then right to state that our political leaders are economic saboteurs,they are responsible for capital flight,which results to loss of much needed jobs in our society.
They are the enemy of our economy!

The way this government is begging for validation is getting out of hand... once any notable person in the society makes a statement, his media team goes into overdrive to see if they can systematically manipulate such statement to favour the disaster in Aso Rock.
You can't force people to accept a failure.
GEJ has refused to be associated with false endorsement.

Proudlyngwa:
Was there anything wrong with that.

It's a normal thing for ogas in companies to give lunch( out station allowance)
to security attached to them.

In my former company whenever we were going out of base, money was handed to me and when we got to where we were going I will give everyone his own, including our escorts.

So what exactly is the big deal

Everything about it is a big deal.Dont we as a nation no longer have shame,if you watch the video and see how these Chinese where more like mocking our policemen and it got to a point,the money was handed over to a chinese lady to continue the sharing,while others following her around with their phones and taking video of the mess.
For God sake,policemen on uniform with Nigerian emblem,that's the height of insult.Sharing 3-5thousand naira to our men and then taking video and laughing.
The question,why make video at of it,if not for the purpose of ridicule. I'm pissed bro!

'Tinubu's administration is the worst in the history of Nigeria'! El Rufai
Better words have never been said.
It actually captured the picture of the present calamitous government.

A true leader with a heart of gold!
Not the ones that kills,maim,that are into drugs,sponsors thugs,online urchins and take,snatch and run away with stolen mandate.

This is one too many and the FG is not doing enough to safeguard these minority Christian ethnic groups in the north.Everybody came out to condemn the unfortunate killings of Fulani's in Oromi but since then tens of locals have been massacred by the usual suspects,the killer Fulani terrorist herdsmen and everybody is going around as if nothing has happened.Are their lives less important?

Govt must allow ethnic groups to arm themselves and protect there homeland.
This guys have pushed the middlebelterns to the point that they may have to fund ethnic militia groups,in other to have what is known as 'balance of terror '!
May their souls rest in peace...Nigeria happened to them.

Nigeria,theater of the absurd!

Every time he is on a working visit to France,'France no dey tire you',even now that the French president travelled out of his country.You can save us this lengthy explanation, just invest in our hospitals here in Nigeria,in such a way that gives them the same capacity with those ones in France!But you the leaders lack the political will to fix our health sector,is this not witchcraft from our leaders?
Buhari spent 8years and almost always on a 'working visit to London',and ended up his tenure without fixing any hospital in Nigeria that he can trust his life with.
This to me is evil of the highest order!

Bwala this is Trump,he has his ears on ground....so be guided
There is absolutely nothing wrong in we knowing just everything that led to the said'forfeiture' or is there something someone is hiding from Nigerians.

Gbadebo Rhodes is one politician I respect so much,very civil,a gentleman to the core,very focused,puts in manifold efforts in whatever he sets out to achieve and doesn't pretend about it.
If such a guy becomes the governor of Lagos,with all the potentials in Lagos,this guy will in few years turn Lagos to the next Dubai or say Singapore.
Very youthful,full of Energy,relates very well with the grassroot!He is the man of the people!

The futher you talk, the more daft you appear. You should be completely banned from public forum. Musicians hail rich people, it's part of their business and money making scheme. All those relatively unpopular ngwogwogwo ungo artistes of yours did same. They do that to make their dancing guests spray money. It's entirely different from boasting or proudness, do you lack understanding to distinguish these things?

Asoebi is a beautiful thing. It's a culture thing, to make events colourful. It's nothing to do with boasting. It's completely about pride.

Asoebi is a wonderful culture. It adds glamour to events. And for our nature of owanbes and ecstasy, we will always invent and imbibe means to enjoy our event. Find other things to talk on.

You are irredeemable,it seems bitterness and uncouthness runs in your bloodline!You are finding it difficult to differentiate between living a prideful life and the ethics of culture.
These are the issues,You guys celebrate
vainglorious life,laced with culture.

Humility is in our gene. Regardless of how rich you become as an omoluabi, you just have to stay grounded. What a virtue. But he's more successful than anyone that's ever emerged from Alaigbo, except Achebe and Nnamdi Azikwe.

None others is as successful as him. Not even Ojukwu.

If it's about money, his money is more than to be echoing "money na water" upandan oA female anopheles mosquito knows nothing more than to drink blood always, but it's definitely more intelligent than you. You think we roll like you people? How much is 500k?

You'll never see a Yoruba being a braggart. Let's take music for instance, you hardly see Wizkid, Olamide, D banj, Tems and so on go about making stupid mouth like they own the world. But you see wack artistes shouting "how much is money"... "money na water"...

How many times have you seen Adenuga make mouth about money or Otedola, Alakija or Dangote? But you see people from that side boasting and gloating. Anyway, I don't care who boasts, it's you who brought up the discussion, else e mo concern me. But the fact remains, we as Yorubas, generally don't boast. They may be outliers, like Davido and Huspuppy... but we like to pipe low while achieving massively.

Comprehension is a problem to you lots,I said 'meagre' 500k!
Back to the discussion,it was Yorubas that introduced this aspect of musician calling out rich guys in music and events and in turn they spread them money,take them to Dubai or London for a mere Owambe,to show how rich they are...kwam1,Shina Peters,Sony Ade and other afro juju artists is just what kept them active and going. Face the truth! To express their boastfulness and flamboyancy,the went mad with ASHOBI!

That's far from the truth,you know as much as I do,that any Omoluabi that earns a meagry 500k and above monthly,will walk and talk with so much pride,lifting his self so high,humility is never a part of Yoruba culture.Forget the usual squatting down during greetings,that's just a mere formality. Yorubas are typically known to be very boastful and loud mouthed and these are the leading attributes of pride.

Wole Soyinka should stick to his literary craft.

This government is not censoring anything. Eedris can sing and release his song.

What the government did was just a ban on airing the song. It is their right to choose what to air or not.

Daft BOT! I know Prof. Has personal relationship with Tinubu but much as he tries to ignore his excesses, the more the impunity is getting irritating and not long from now,Prof. will take it no more.

David Hundeyin,I doff my cap for you...if you know what it means for a titled Igbo man to doff his cap for you,it simply means you are doing exceedingly well.

The triumphal entry....very significant and in ushering the holy week.It also calls for sober reflection in our individual lifes!

Meanwhile you have been running from pillar to post,visiting even your worst enemies for validation and giving unjustified appointments to your foes for settlement.Paying moles to unsettle opposition parties....in our local parlance 'that strategy don cast',the opposition are regrouping.
Time shall tell.
The suffering masses are so eager to vote your party out,that has brought untold hardship and you lots care less about the feelings of the people you lead. You act with reckless impunity.

In other words,they should remain in perpetual servitude....be slaves to their bosses!for a temporary stay in America.

MJ all the times.

Effects of the wide spread use of Oluwole certificates in the South West....with the advent of social media,the 'sophistication' myth has been broken.
No more cover up by the Lagos-Ibadan parapo media houses!

Funke Akindele...very ambitious lady.
